Lauren Goode of tech news website The Verge wrote that while trying out the new Apple Watch she experience "notable connectivity issues", with the device trying to link with unknown WiFi hot-spots instead of a telecommunications network.

Apple says it's "investigating a fix for a future software release". Bringing LTE connectivity to the AppleWatch Series 3 was a step towards that goal as it now allows you to make phone calls and stream AppleMusic directly from the smartwatch.

The Watch Series 3 starts at $399 and was launched alongside new iPhone models. "We have discovered that when Apple Watch Series 3 joins unauthenticated Wi-Fi networks without connectivity, it may at times prevent the watch from using cellular", an Apple spokesperson said in an emailed statement. If the cellular connected Series 3 pairs with an iPhone, talk time triples to three hours.

Poor Dick, he upgraded to the cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 3.

The watch doesn't require a new data plan, but an add-on to existing plans.

Clashes in Kirkuk Over Kurdish Referendum
Erbil has been exporting oil independently of the Baghdad government since 2014, with Russian companies among the buyers. Earlier, Turkey's military said it had kicked off a previously unannounced drill near its border with Iraq.

With no hint of when the fix will be issued, this is something that's surely going to be a concern for anyone who has placed an order and is now waiting for their new Apple Watch to arrive. Many experienced about half a day of battery life from the watch when using the cell connection heavily.

The original Apple Watch Series 3 comes with Global Positioning System function, waterproof design, and a smooth-running processor. "People I called via the watch said I sounded great, and I could hear them loud and clear".

When that fix might arrive is anyone's guess, but the problem - noticed by outlets like The Verge and the Wall Street Journal - manifests as intermittent cellular connectivity. "The new cellular feature is great for leaving your phone behind during workouts (then taking an Uber back or stopping at Whole Foods for a refueling snack)".
